[Intro: Sample]

And now for my next number

I'd like to return to the classics

Perhaps the most famous classic


[Verse 1: Posdnuos (Breeze/Tariq) {Dave}]

Yo, yo, excuse me, I heard the word from word of mouth

That you were into booking flights

My travel agent took a trip up north

And I need to book a flight tonight

I enjoyed a getting away from day-

To-day stress so I need to leave, soon!

(If that's a case, I have no space

But for later I'd be sure to leave)

Nah, nah, that's not gonna do, I know that you

Can find another flight leavin the same time

I need to get aboard. I can't afford

Any penalties to sit in the main cabin

{Yo, that didn't rhyme} It doesn't matter

(What does is the money

Show the cash and the ticket is yours)

Cool! Here's your green, now I'm up outta the scene

But I'll be back to purchase some more, jewels


[Chorus: De La Soul]

(I like it) More than you know it

(I like it) More than you know it

(Do you want me, baby?) I want some mo'!

(Do you want me, sugar?) I want some mo'!

(I like it) I like it! (I like it) I love it!


[Verse 2: Posdnuos]

Now I'm comin down outta the clouds

And I'm runnin into turbulence, need to get up

Up higher again, feelin like my soul's on fire again

Don't need no belt for safety

Show me where the safe be, so I can take me another trip

To the agency, cause the travel unravel my woes

But now the craving grows, so

I need to get a ticket cause, man, oh I

Need to get aboard a plane again, some

Say I'll crash, but It's my life and cash

Gonna ride it out until the end, numb

To the lift of the whiff, grown, when I vacate frequently

And I got frequent flyer, when I retire to death

Tell 'em that the big C sent me and a lot

Of brothers, man, I'm not the only brother

At the airport, needin a lift, off

Was a agent 'til I was caught and brought

To an unfair court, pleadin the fifth, soft

Ground I prefer upon the mound

When I pitched a rock for a fee

Now others say standing at the bat isn't where it's at

But taking hits is where I'd rather be


[Verse 3: Dave (Pos)]

Ayo, my cousin used to tell me 'bout this dime named Addie

Hustled with the big boys who pushed the Caddy

See, when I was young, I was told to stay clear

But sometimes, she pitched her game in my ear

Told me 'bout the ways she'd make me feel good

Bragging 'bout how she controlling the hood

Not me, I'm just a youngin' interested in the streets

(But in the future, I think Addie had plans for me)


[Chorus: De La Soul]

(I like it) More than you know it

(I like it) More than you know it

(Do you want me, baby?) I want some mo'!

(Do you want me, sugar?) I want some mo'!

(I like it) I like it! (I like it) I love it!


[Verse 4: Dave (Pos)]

Now I bagged this chick but she got me wide

Made me lose my friends and my pride

Had me cashing my checks for her

Lost all my self-respect for her

When I was broke, she'd go solicit other guys

And if we made love, you could see it in my eyes

My fantasy was one day to be a millionaire

So I could reassure that my baby girl was there

I could feel her love, son, I taste it in her lips

Mentally, she was a trip, had a nigga whipped

A lot of other cats got strung out in the past

But I'ma get the love last, then I make the dash

That's what I thought, but Miss Thing was too appealing

When I had no dough for her, she had a nigga stealing

(Hands hot) Now I'm incarcerated, honey ain't around

Into withdrawal from her, while I'm locked down

(Two years done) I hear she's still a thick dime (Word)

Controlling niggas pockets and even ladies' minds

(Here she come) I'ma ignore her with her tempting proposition

(Approaching me) But when she said, "Hi," I had to listen

I'm sweating beans cause I know I'm gonna bait her

(Better do it now cause you're bound to do it later)

I can't refuse her, my denial's a wish

Fell into her arm when I gave her a kiss, cause I liked it!


[Chorus: De La Soul]

(I like it) More than you know it

(I like it) More than you know it

(Do you want me, baby?) I want some mo'!

(Do you want me, sugar?) I want some mo'!

(I like it) I like it! (I like it) I love it!
